Step-by-step solution for: Magnets and Magnetism Worksheet/ Crossword Puzzle by Science Spot
The image you provided is a vocabulary worksheet related to magnets. The task involves matching terms with their definitions and filling in the blanks. Below is the solution with explanations for each term:
---
#### Definitions
1. Thin, flat, circular magnet
- Answer: Disc magnet
- Explanation: A disc magnet is a thin, flat, circular-shaped magnet commonly used in various applications like motors, speakers, and sensors.
2. A bright silver-white metallic element, resistant to corrosion
- Answer: Nickel
- Explanation: Nickel is a shiny, silver-white metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and is often used in alloys for magnetic materials.
3. One of the opposite or paired parts or directions in which a magnet acts
- Answer: Pole
- Explanation: A magnet has two poles: the north pole and the south pole. These are the points where the magnetic force is strongest.
4. Capable of being magnetized
- Answer: Ferromagnetic
- Explanation: Ferromagnetic materials (like iron, nickel, and cobalt) can be magnetized and retain their magnetic properties.
5. Any metal that is attracted to magnets
- Answer: Ferrous metal
- Explanation: Ferrous metals contain iron and are attracted to magnets. Examples include steel and iron.
6. A bar or mass of steel or iron that has the property of attracting certain substances, like iron
- Answer: Magnet
- Explanation: A magnet is an object made of ferromagnetic material that produces a magnetic field and attracts other ferromagnetic materials.
7. To act with force in opposition to a force impressed
- Answer: Repel
- Explanation: When two like poles (e.g., north-north or south-south) of a magnet are brought close together, they repel each other.
8. A hard, silver-white magnetic metal, easily rusts in moist air
- Answer: Iron
- Explanation: Iron is a common magnetic metal that is silver-white in color and prone to rusting when exposed to moisture.
9. The center of the earth, consisting of iron and nickel
- Answer: Core
- Explanation: The Earth's core is primarily composed of iron and nickel, which contribute to the planet's magnetic field.
10. A lightweight silver-white metal
- Answer: Aluminum
- Explanation: Aluminum is a lightweight, silver-white metal, but it is not magnetic. This might be a trick question, as aluminum is not typically associated with magnetism.
11. A common malleable brown metal
- Answer: Copper
- Explanation: Copper is a brown, malleable metal that is not magnetic. It is often used in electrical wiring due to its conductivity.
12. Pulling force
- Answer: Attraction
- Explanation: The pulling force between opposite poles of a magnet is called attraction.
